A/N: Hello! This is first try writing a fanfic for the Maze runner. I usually write for The Outsiders. But recently, I figured out that I also have an obsession with this series, so here goes. Please be nice in your comments, and I'm sorry if this story is a little OOC.
"Please Tommy, please. Kill me."
Newt woke up with a gasp. His eyes snapped open and moved around wildly. He was hanging from a wall. His bare toes brushed the floor. His arms were strapped down by his sides.
"What the hell?" his voice trailed off.
He had an oxygen mask on his face, and tubes and wires in his arms. Machines were everywhere, and he seemed to be wearing what looked like a hospital gown.
When he looked around, he saw all of his friends. Thomas. Minho. Brenda. Teresa. Countless others. They looked the same as him, except their eyes were closed, their heads dropping onto their chests. His breaths began getting shallow as he started to panic. He struggled wildly. It set of an alarm that caused a man to come in.
"Ah, Newton's awake," he raised his hands as if to congratulate him.
"What the bloody hell is going on," asked Newt fiercely, glaring at the man.
"Now, now Newton," But Newt cut him off.
"My name's Newt."
The man smiled.
"Well, Newt, I'm afraid I can't tell you that yet. I don't want you going crazy on me. Let's wait until the others wake up, shall we?"
Again with the no answers! Newt was confused and furious at the same time.
The doctor walked over to the boy's side, and started fiddling with the wires and tubes, checking the machines monitors.
He frowned.
"You're working yourself up Newt. I'm sorry, but we can't allow that."
Newt felt a sharp prick in his arm, and knew immediately he had been drugged. As the darkness started to take him, he managed to get out one last thing.
"I hate you bloody shanks."
Flashback (in a dream)
"It's for the greater good," Thomas said, putting a hand on Newt shoulder.
"I know Tommy, but that doesn't mean I have to like it," said Newt, frowning unhappily. Doing this would mean they wouldn't be aware of the real world for a few weeks, maybe even a few months.
Thomas smiled slightly, and moved on to talk to Teresa.
When the team of doctors announced they were ready, Newt felt his heart leap up into his throat. This was it.
"This procedure is going to be painless, or at least this part is," the doctor chucked. Nobody joined in.
"If you'll just stand by your assigned space, we can get started."
Newt went with everyone else and moved to his spot next to Thomas on one side and Minho on his other. Teresa went to stand on the left side of Thomas, Next to Brenda.
They started on the opposite side to Newt and his friends. They placed the tubes in first, one for fluids, one for liquefied food, and one for medicine, drugs or blood so they could be administered quickly if necessary. The Gladers had been told the likelihood of this tube being used was very low. Next they placed a small contraption on the finger of every person so they could monitor heartbeats and reactions. They already had a clip in their brain so the scientists could monitor brainwaves. An oxygen mask was placed over each Gladers face. Next, each Glader was strapped to their assigned spot on the wall. A needle was placed into the medicine IV, and one by one, each Glader slumped and went limp. The next thing he knew, they had moved to Thomas. Newt reached over and squeezed Thomas's arm. Thomas turned and smiled at him.
"See you on the flip side," he said through his grin. He turned back to face forward, and the doctor pushed down the plunger on the needle he was holding. Thomas's whole body relaxed, and his head fell against his chest.
As the IV needles entered Newt's arm he winced. The heart tracker felt weird on his finger, like it was squeezing the life out of it, which was ironic. The oxygen mask was uncomfortable, it rubbed against his cheeks and made him feel stupid. He squeezed his eyes shut tight, and bit his lip as the drugs entered his bloodstream. Then his whole body fell forward, and darkness started closing in.
"You'll be fine Newton," he heard the doctor tell him, before the world disappeared completely.
